Sigh. How the **** do I watch the Royals?
- I’m in the KC market.
- I have YoutubeTV.
- YouTubeTV does not carry the Bally sports channels.
- MLB TV pass doesn’t work because I am in the KC market, so it’s blacked out.

What the **** are my options here?

- I’m not buying an additional cable package or streaming provider. I'm fine with one-offs, just not a multi-channel duplication of what I already get with YoutubeTV.
- I’m not clicking into Ethiopian livestream every game to deal with buffering issues, boner pill pop-up ads, or having my identity stolen.

EDIT/UPDATE: For anyone in the same boat, the solution was going direct through the Bally's app.

Idk, my guy. You're in a pickle here.
I should clarify: I don't want to buy another full-tilt live TV service like Cable, Hulu TV, etc...

I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a standalone service like MLBTV, but the blackouts prevent me from accessing. From what I can tell, the same is true if I buy Bally's as well.

No, if you buy Bally's you are good.

Even if I'm in the KC market? Is it really that simple?

Yep. I'm in KC and use the Bally's app. I think it will verify your zip code at the beginning but after that you're good.

Probably more hassle than you want but as others said, MLB.tv and a vpn. I'm out of market so don't have to deal with blackouts on the Royals except when they are playing in Texas. In that case, the VPN works well if I pull the game up on the computer with the VPN (I just hook the laptop up to the tv) on. The phone/tablet still seems to be an issue in that the VPN does not prevent mlb.tv from knowing my location and will still black it out. I assume if I set the VPN up on the router itself, it would work, but for the few times a year KC is blacked out here, it's fine just hooking the laptop up to the TV.

I thought about the VPN route, but I'd have to cart around my work laptop to whichever TV I am near at the given time and plug in the HDMI cable, and the whole thing.

If this Bally's thing works, I'll be pleased (while still being irritated). Insane that I have to pay for a service to watch my home market team. Why is this shit not on on one of the main goddamn channels?

My friend has MLB.tv and says the VPNs stop working constantly. So they're on to that basically.

What are you running the Bally's app on? According to some of the forums it's horrible on some platforms like Samsung. Seems ok on Roku/Roku TV.

You can ask for a shitty streaming link in every single royals thread and somebody will likely provide one

Or spend 20/month and just watch them

Bally's works because it's the actual provider. Mlbtv blacks out because it's stepping on Bally's toes locally if it doesn't

I have everything on Firesticks and one Fire TV. I just loaded the app on one of the Firesticks and it seems to function, although I have yet to watch anything live. Will report back on the experience this evening.
